Default My drivers side mirror unit

Well, a falling ice chunk hit my poor poor Trans am today, and "removed" my driver's side mirror unit. The entire thing. The actual unit is cracked, and will need to be replaced. How much will the entire unit cost to have replaced?

Thks!

The entire power unit for my 02 Camaro was 100.00 ish. That was with the mirror, unpainted housing, wires, EVERYTHING.

Make up your mind, you posted in 'Parts Wanted' that you're looking for a passenger-side mirror https://ls1tech.com/forums/parts-wanted/431947-wtb-passenger-side-mirror-98-trans-power-blue.html
You left out the year in your post here, I had to go find that post to see the year is 98...


Firebird all-remote mirror (93-98 and early 99 with RPO DG7), RH (passenger) = 10279435
Firebird all-remote mirror (93-98 and early 99 with RPO DG7), LH (driver) = 10279436

GM list price on either is $134; some dealers sell them for under a hundred.

Well, you still have to get it painted! Don't know about the blue sporty looking tint. Did your old glass survive?

Yep, those 10279435 and 10279436 mirror assemblies should include the blue-tinted glass.

The blue-tinted glass can also be purchased by itself:
Firebird blue-tinted mirror glass (93-98 and early 99, with RPO DG7), RH = 10279515
Firebird blue-tinted mirror glass (93-98 and early 99, with RPO DG7), LH = 10279516

Lists for $54, sells for ~$20 less.
